It always seemed around here the shellcracker bed a month earlier than the bluegills .
Could be the weather this year messed them up .
If you’re finding bluegill are bedding in your area , you may have missed them this year .
I read bluegills will bed through summer if not caught and taken home .
just read shellcracker do the same here in the south . So they’re probably bedding together.
Congrats on the gills , I’d be thrilled with catching that many .
You may find it hard to believe, but I prefer to fish for them both when they’re not on the bed .
More challenging.
